  • Require that persons who import, offer for transport, handle or transport dangerous goods be registered in a new registration database when applicable; and
  • Require that all registered persons provide administrative information and information concerning the dangerous goods and operations being conducted at their respective transportation of dangerous goods (TDG) Site.

The amendment entitled “Regulations Amending the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (Registration database)” was published in the Canada Gazette, Part 1 (CGI) on June 25, 2022 for a 70-day comment period.
